I got to play Psi*Run this weekend, which was a hoot, with @Alwaysnevers running. Amnesiac psis on the run from their mysterious captors, and whose powers can easily go out of control.

I didn't take that last bit into consideration when making my character. Psi powers are freeform and player-defined; since the other two players took visually impressive powers, I decided to try subtle by defining mine as "Lucky," something I could play off as a "What are you talking about, I don't have a power" kind of running gag. When it did go out of control, we played it as "too much of a good thing," e.g. trying to free another character from their seat restraints, their buckle fell apart in my hands... and so did some cable-bearing bolts on the suspension bridge we were on.

The game uses the Otherkind Dice method, which was easy to pick up and quickly revealed how it can be used to escalate the fiction's stakes or create new problems, while leaving control of what goes wrong up to the player rolling. That let us decide what repercussions we wanted to deal with in each moment, and eventually control the pacing. While working it out, we started the session by hesitantly using our powers, but ended on a bombastic action/escape sequence where letting them loose was the goal.

Lumpley Games has a great post about Otherkind Dice, including a link to Psi*Run's specific implementation: https://lumpley.games/2022/03/14/otherkind-dice/

The node that you and the others were in just froze up.

ICE?

Sizzle. Pop. Data fragments sundered. Senses blurred.

... you decided to hack whatever was behind the node. Nothing to lose.

You didn’t want to leave empty handed this time. So close to finding the Truth behind everything.

Something inhuman reached out to you online. You can’t remember­—yet.

Time to run. They’re coming for you!
